Aliens

If you think about all the movies about aliens coming down to earth, there isn't a real good depiction of them. Typically they are nasty creatures hellbent on killing us and using our bodies and natural resources. Here are the first few alien movies that come to mind:
  • Predator
  • Aliens I/II/III/IV
  • Independence Day
  • Signs
  • Enemy Mine ("This is my left foot")
  • War of the Worlds

There are a few good movies that depict aliens in a good way though
  • ET
  • Cocoon
  • The day the earth stood still (I haven't seen it yet, the classic or remake)
  • Alf
  • Star Trek

I wonder if aliens ever do show up, and what if they were cool with interspecies development. They would learn our language, soon after they sign up for a netflix account, and start going through our catalog of movies. I wonder if they will ever say "Whoa, you guys are a bunch of a-holes, we weren't anything like that!". Then they will say "Hey, you want to see what movies we made about what we thought you were going to be like?". That would be pretty crazy.
